Single Servings of Service allows parishioners to volunteer in a meaningful way without making a long-term commitment. This service program allows St. Matthew’s to reach out in service to a wider community, since recipients of single servings of service are a variety of nonprofit service agencies that serve different populations within the Washington, D.C. area. If you are interested in participating, please send an email to stmattservice@gmail.com.
Event details are announced on the parish website Facebook page as the event date approaches. The Social Justice newsletter and the Young Adult Ministry email list also are used to announce events.
If you would like to lead a group for any event, please contact Franz Kuo at franzkuo@gmail.com. Leaders serve as the point of contact for participants.
